This article goes in line with my previous writing that Nokia should dump its name from the Ovi branding. The idea is to offer an array of useful services to the consumers, both on the web and on their mobiles. That said, here are seven companies which services could be of use for Nokia handset…
Idea: Nokia should dump its name from the Ovi brand
As the mobile phone market gets more competitive, margins are shrinking and smart handset makers are focusing on value added services. I always thought of Nokia as a smart company and their entrance to the world of Internet services was fascinating move, when you think about it. Within just a few years today’s high-end smartphones…
Can you 3D me please?
There seems to be a growing buzz in the media industry generally right now about 3D – how good it is, the fact that consumers are bound to want it, and crucially, how to do it. Interestingly though, Mobile may be very well set up to handle 3D and potentially even take the lead over…
UK: would the Government mandate for “2Mbps broadband for all” be better served by an improved 3G/4G wireless infrastructure?
Not so very long ago in the news, there was a story about a mandate laid down by the Government that within 5 or so years, everyone should have access to the InterWeb, at a speed of 2Mbps or more. The medium of connection for that statement was not defined, but of course there could…
HD video recording: standard within 18 months on most mobiles?
We are charging at a frightening pace toward the ability to record at least 720p HD video on Mobile devices, following the introduction of a raft (e.g. Flip Mino HD, Toshiba P10/S10) of Mini-camcorders, at very low price-points (~£100). It would appear the miniaturisation process of the chipsets to pass-through and process hi-res video has…
Baby Monitors: rant-o-matic!
Is it just me, or are Baby Monitors as bad as DECT landline phones in how far behind the technology curve they are? And this isn’t the first time I’ve ranted about it either……! I just can’t believe that such a lucrative market segment (trust me, new parents will buy ANYTHING!) is not being exploited…
Nappies and Mobiles…
What a strange title you might think – but I suggest you consider what might be the relation? Well I came to one the other day and it is thus: both are TERRIBLE in terms of their impact on the environment! For those of you unlucky enough not to have a child/children, you may not…
Landline phones: why are they so far behind??!
Yep, it’s rant time again – open rant generator v1.0, enable tantrum networking bus, and start redundant shout and stamp processes! To rewind for just a second – I was in the process the other day of buying some new phones for our house – probably DECT ones, and at least 2 handsets. You’d have…
Idea: Motorola should partner with Modu
The way things are going in the mobile world, it’s hard to imagine Motorola regaining its share in the mobile phone marketplace. They need some serious innovation and focusing on the Android platform may be just the thing to do. But is there something else the struggling handset maker could do? Here’s an idea –…
How much standardisation do we need in the Mobile space?
It would seem of late that we might be moving toward a process of standarisation of certain things in the Mobile space – if not standardisation, then at least the distillation of a plethora of variants to a main few. Case in point – most charger manufacturers are committing to get to a universal connector…
